The Israeli leader offered no evidence or specifics as his coalition trails in polls ahead of October’s election

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed that Iran attempted to assassinate one of his sons, making the explosive allegation without saying which of his children was allegedly targeted, when the supposed plot took place or how close it came to being carried out.

The bombshell came almost in passing during a telephone interview with Israel’s Channel 14 on Monday about security arrangements for Netanyahu’s political rival Gadi Eisenkot, a former Israeli military chief who is challenging him ahead of the October 27 general election.

“This is an unbelievable case. Iran targeted one of my sons. Iran tried to murder him, tried to murder one of my sons,” Netanyahu said, arguing that round-the-clock protection for Eisenkot was “not a luxury” and warning that without it, the Iranians “will succeed.”

Netanyahu has two sons, Yair and Avner. He did not identify which one he was referring to, nor did he say where or how Iran allegedly planned to attack him.


 

Israeli media have separately reported that Netanyahu’s wife, Sara, and both sons were granted expanded state protection in July. Channel 12 reported that the alleged Iranian plot had been known to Israel’s security establishment for several months but had been subject to a military gag order.

The claim comes as Netanyahu faces a difficult reelection campaign. Successive surveys have put his governing bloc short of the 61 seats required for a parliamentary majority, while polls have shown Eisenkot competing closely with or overtaking Netanyahu and his Likud party. Reuters reported in July that surveys were pointing to a defeat for Netanyahu’s coalition, although the fragmented opposition also lacks a straightforward path to forming a government.

US President Donald Trump also claimed that Tehran had repeatedly tried to kill him – even before the initial salvo of US-Israeli strikes on February 28 killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.


 

“I got him before he got me,” Trump boasted in an interview with ABC News shortly after the strike that also killed Khamenei’s daughter Boshra and 14-month-old granddaughter Zahra, as well as a son-in-law and daughter-in-law.

During the NATO summit in Türkiye in July, Trump was secretly removed from Air Force One and transferred inside a catering truck to another military aircraft after Israel relayed intelligence about another alleged Iranian assassination threat. The extraordinary operation was concealed even from some members of his traveling party.

US intelligence reportedly assessed the Israeli-supplied information with “low confidence,” while Tehran has denied broader accusations that it sought to assassinate Trump or other American officials.

President Donald Trump says that there are no more mines in the Strait of Hormuz, as he warns that any “new mines” will result in a military response.

Both the U.S. and the Islamic Republic of Iran have said they are in charge of the strait, which has global significance for cargo transportation, but the U.S. currently has the upper hand by a wide margin, according to CNN.

The comments come as the president said earlier this month that there no longer talks occurring between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic, as the war now shifts to an economic focus.

Most people do not go to Ivy League schools. Most people do not live in a $1.5 million home in Brooklyn. This is why it is bizarre, yet hypocritical, that someone reaps the fruits of someone else’s labor in such a way while also demanding the rich pay their fair share.

DSA co-chair Gustavo Gordillo is a double-standard rich kid who reaps the fruit of his parents’ labor. His parents went beyond the American Dream, and to call Gordillo an ungrateful, spoiled brat would be an understatement.

To put it into perspective, here are his past comments:

To claim his parents had “success” would be an understatement.

According to The Post Millennial:

Gordillo lives in a $1.5 million Brooklyn home that’s owned by his parents. The two-story, 2,000-square-foot home in Bed-Stuy, a neighborhood that has been increasing in value over the past few decades, “was bought in 2019 by his mommy and daddy through a dummy corporation, Chucuito LLC, for just under $1 million,” the New York Post reports.

The Democratic Party should be doing everything in its power to ensure the American people are better off. Instead, they do nothing except fight against your best interests. The solution is to not engage in an “experiment” with the American people, but Hilary Clinton just said the quiet part out loud.

According to Clinton, the Democratic Party is “going through an experiment” to see “who can actually respond to young people’s very real concerns.”

Can anyone name the last time the Dems have made life more affordable or helped to increase your quality of life? No? I didn’t think so.

According to Fox News:

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the Democratic Party’s current “experiment” amid the rise of democratic socialist candidates “healthy,” drawing swift conservative backlash from critics who accused her of embracing the party’s socialist wing.

It is bizarre that rather than fixing these “concerns” now, they are waiting for even more progressive candidates to come in and usher in their leftist utopia.

“The Democratic Party right now is, I think, going through a kind of experiment, like who can actually respond particularly to young people’s very real concerns about where they are at this point in their lives and what kind of future do they have for themselves? I think that is healthy,” said Clinton.

A book released in 2021 (Abortion and Mothering: Research, Stories, and Artistic Expressions) has a chapter by writer Jessica Shaw called “Abortion Providers as Mothers, with Mothers,” where abortionists discuss the stigma and “social disapproval” they feel about committing abortions.

Even Her Friends Don’t Know

One abortionist, identified only as “Kate,” admitted that most people in her life (even many of her close friends) don’t know she performs abortions. She says she has “some very close friends that have no idea what I do. They just think I’m a family physician…[T]hey just have no clue.” (Jackson and Shaw, 57)

Kate doesn’t express any shame that she, herself, feels about being an abortionist, but she acknowledges that there is a stigma about being an abortion provider.

Kate mentions a friend whose father was a Baptist minister. While the friend isn’t “super religious,” Kate decided not to tell her what her job consists of:

I just know that for me to tell her that I provide abortions would shake her quite a bit. I think, “Does it add anything to our relationship? Or does it just put her in an uncomfortable position?” (Jackson and Shaw, 57)

She also expresses concern about how people knowing she’s an abortionist would affect her husband. She says, “I don’t really care about me, but I don’t want my husband’s relationships to be affected by what I do.” (Jackson and Shaw, 57)

Whether she keeps her chosen career a secret for her husband’s sake or her own, few of Kate’s friends know that she’s an abortion doctor. She blames this partly on the fact that there is never a good opportunity to tell them. She says, “[I]t just doesn’t come up in conversation. At what point do you say, ‘Oh, by the way, I perform abortions?’”(Jackson and Shaw, 57)

ICE officers working in Los Angeles are being followed home, harassed on social media and confronted in person while carrying out immigration enforcement, the agency’s local field office director said this week.

Those officers receive little assistance from local police.

LAPD policy, rooted in Special Order 40 and the city’s sanctuary ordinance, bars officers from initiating action solely to determine immigration status or assisting in civil immigration enforcement, according to a statement from Chief Jim McDonnell.

Los Angeles ICE Field Office Director Thomas Giles told Fox News Digital that the sanctuary rules force his agents into the community instead of allowing secure transfers at local jails. Fox News Digital accompanied Giles and a team of officers on an enforcement operation in the Los Angeles area early last Thursday morning.

“The sanctuary policies definitely impact our operations in terms of it’d be a lot easier for us to have that transfer of custody in a secure environment,” Giles said. “So, what it does for us is it sends our officers out into the community, putting our officers at risk and other community members at risk.”

EXCERPT:

The US announced a host of sanctions against Iran and threatened its supporters in what Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said was “the single greatest financial offensive ever”.

Labelling it an “economic D-Day” for Iran, Bessent said the US would sever all economic ties with the country and added that any nation financially partnering with Iran would also be isolated.

However, the latest threat to the Iranian regime follows several U-turns and extended deadlines from the White House in its efforts to end the conflict.

The war has led to hikes in global oil prices, and in response to the latest threat Iran warned it would shut down all oil exports from the region if the war continued.

The Iranian regime has also issued a fresh warning to shipping to not pass through the Strait of Hormuz without its permission, according to Reuters.

One fifth of the world’s oil and gas usually passes through strait, a narrow waterway south of Iran, but the flow has been effectively blocked by the country since the conflict began at the end of February, leading to higher oil prices globally.

It is now very clear that Saint Anthony sent money to Wuhan to finance the manufacture of the COVID-19 virus. He used cut-outs at the EcoHealth Alliance and the University of North Carolina. He later conspired with others in the virology field to publish an op-ed in the professional literature denying any serious possibility of the virus having been engineered.

His buddies at Pfizer and Moderna buried adverse data. He helped to push the idea that there was no alternative treatment for this supposedly lethal disease, and that the “vaccine” was “safe and effective.” He helped with persecuting medical professionals who dared to challenge his authority and use that horse dewormer. Finally, he made his dangerous drug, Remdesivir, the drug of choice for treating hospitalized COVID patients, because royalties lined his pocket.

EXCERPT:

SEOUL: South Korea said on Monday (Aug 24) that the United States had cancelled a large joint amphibious landing exercise scheduled for next month due to constraints on force availability caused by the war with Iran.

The biennial Ssangyong drills involve marine forces from South Korea and the US and are designed to strengthen combined operations, typically involving warships, aircraft and ground forces rehearsing amphibious landings.

The cancellation follows US President Donald Trump’s order last week to scale down the separate annual Ulchi Freedom Shield exercises, cutting the joint drills from 11 days to five.

Trump at the time cited their high cost and said they sent an “inappropriate and hostile” signal to North Korea, while highlighting his relationship with its leader, Kim Jong Un.

“The US Marine Corps formally notified our forces in June that its ability to deploy forces during this year’s Ssangyong exercise would be constrained due to the situation in the Middle East,” Han Seung-jeon, a spokesman for the South Korean Marine Corps, told reporters at a news briefing.

Seoul and Washington were continuing consultations on resuming the amphibious exercise, he said, without giving details.

The FBI announced that Jessica Bowie, 35, of Albany, NY, faces charges connected to a plot to attack the New York State Capitol.

“As alleged, Bowie plotted to deploy an explosive device at the New York State Capitol, intending to kill public officials and to destroy ‘as much of the building as possible’ before fleeing to ISIS‑controlled territory in Syria,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg. “The National Security Division and our law-enforcement partners are committed to the painstaking work of preventing plots like this from succeeding and securing convictions against those who attempt such plots.”

Bowie faces one count of violating 18 U.S.C. 2339B(a)(1) – Attempting to Provide Material Support or Resources to Designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.

According to the criminal complaint, Bowie converted to Islam five years ago and goes by Aisha Saif.

FBI Special Agent Joshua Parker, in the affidavit in support of a criminal complaint, wrote that between May 2026 and July 2026, several social media accounts with messages that support terrorism were traced back to Bowie.

An FBI confidential human source (CHS-1) posed “as an ISIS facilitator” while communicating with Bowie between July 16, 2026, and August 17, 2026, on a messaging platform.

EXCERPT:

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s currency hit a record low Monday as Washington prepared to announce new sanctions it said would add further pressure on an economy already battered by previous sanctions and a U.S. naval blockade.

The rial dropped to 2.02 million to the U.S. dollar as trading opened on currency markets. Iran’s official Central Bank rate stood at around 1.5 million rial to the dollar, but the market rate is what most Iranians pay.

The currency had already been under pressure before the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28, as Iran faced double-digit inflation and negative growth, but has repeatedly hit new lows as nearly six months of war have taken an even greater toll.

Iranians find daily staples increasingly unaffordable. Since the war began, rice is up some 60% and prices of beef are more than 150% higher. The International Monetary Fund forecasts that GDP will contract more than 5%.

Still, economic pressure has not yet translated into political pressure. Iran retains a key strategic advantage: Its attacks and threats on ships in the Strait of Hormuz have brought traffic in the vital waterway to a near halt, damaging the world economy and heaping pressure on U.S. President Donald Trump ahead of congressional elections.

Guess Who Abdul El-Sayed Blames for Islamic Terrorism– townhall.com

EXCERPT:

Islamic terrorism has been a problem for ages. Going back centuries, Islamic factions have engaged in behavior that fits the modern-day definition of terrorism. This predates the founding of America, and shortly after American independence, the Barbary States (Tripoli, Algiers, Tunis, Morocco) attacked and seized American ships. Envoy Thomas Jefferson and John Adams met with Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman. In a report to Secretary of State John Jay, Jefferson and Adams said, “The ambassador answered us that [the right] was founded on the Laws of the Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have answered their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.”

So this is a problem with Islam, not America. But guess who Abdul El-Sayed blamed for current-day Islamic terrorism?

That’s right: the U.S.

Her defense claims postpartum psychosis left her unable to form criminal intent. Yet the wave of public sympathy focused almost entirely on Clancy’s suffering has drawn sharp criticism from pro-life voices who insist the children’s deaths cannot be secondary to their mother’s mental health crisis.

Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months.

She then cut her wrists and neck and jumped from a second-story window in a suicide attempt. Callan died three days later.

Public health data from Colorado shows that patients approved for assisted suicide likely are not being screened by mental health experts, and the assisted suicide reports that doctors submit to the State are sometimes incomplete.

Colorado legalized assisted suicide under its 2016 End-of-Life Options Act. Since then, the State has recorded nearly 2,600 prescriptions for lethal drugs under the law.

Assisted suicide’s supporters have claimed the law contains strong safeguards to protect vulnerable patients, but statistical data from the State of Colorado raises questions about whether that really is the case.

LifeNews is on GETTR. Please follow us for the latest pro-life news

For example, last year 580 patients were approved for assisted suicide in Colorado. Out of all of those patients, only one reportedly was referred to a mental health professional for evaluation. That’s due in part to the fact that mental health evaluations are optional in Colorado. Under the End-of-Life Options Act, mental health referrals typically are limited to cases where the physician prescribing the drugs has doubts about the patient’s decision-making ability. Doctors are not required to get a mental health professional’s opinion about whether the patient may be suffering from mental illness.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Monday suggested the Republican Party could embrace a directional shift after President Donald Trump leaves office, a transition that promises to leave a gaping hole in the GOP.

Cruz is known as a critical ally of Trump’s in the Senate, but he has also represented a more traditional brand of conservatism than the president, at times questioning Trump’s more protectionist, isolationist, and populist tendencies. In an MS Now interview this week, the Texas Republican questioned the view that Vice President JD Vance will be Trump’s heir, positing instead that the party will have to undergo some soul-searching to find its way forward. Cruz also left the door open for a presidential run himself in 2028, saying, “There’ll be time to figure that out.”

“Going forward, we’re in the midst of a debate about who our party is and what we believe, and I think economically we’ve got to debate, ‘Are we a small-government, free-market conservative party? Are we a big-government, nanny-state party?” he said.

Cruz praised Trump for showing “courage” in Washington, describing him as a “fearless” man with “a backbone,” in comparison to other “lily-livered Republicans who were afraid of their own shadow.” At the same time, the senator said he wished the president showed more “message discipline and focus,” noting he speaks with Trump sometimes on a daily basis.

“He doesn’t always listen to me, but he frequently listens to me,” Cruz said.

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Democrats are warning that their party’s nominee to be the next senator for Texas, James Talarico, apparently lacks the amount of support from black voters he needs to flip the traditionally Republican state.

“Listen, my home state of Texas, we feel incredibly encouraged for two reasons,” Ashley Etienne, formerly the communications director for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, told “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker on Sunday. “But the challenge is: the only way you win the state of Texas as a Democrat is if you overperform with Black voters.”

“I just came back from Houston last night, meeting with operatives on the ground and state elected officials. They are concerned that there’s mild enthusiasm among black voters and that this $25 million that Talarico promised he was going to spend over a month ago has yet to start to flow,” she continued.

“The investments aren’t there yet. And then you couple that with the fact that Elon Musk said he’s going to spend nearly $200 million on these races, and Texas is a huge target for that. And you’ve got a problem with black voters in Texas: you’ve got 34% of black men voting for Donald Trump. So if you’re going to wait until Labor Day to start campaigning with black voters, you’re playing to lose.”

Etienne’s warning follows that of Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who fell short in the March 3, 2026, Senate primary to Talarico, 52.4% to 46.2%. The lame duck congresswoman similarly questioned whether black voters are energized by his candidacy.

“I personally don’t feel like the excitement necessarily exists within the black community right now, like I don’t feel like they’re excited, right?” Crockett said on Friday’s episode of the “Front Page” podcast.

Ukraine thinks Russia is planning to draft an additional 300,000 troops for its war effort after Russian parliamentary elections in mid-September, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

Moscow’s forces are pressing ahead with an effort to capture the rest of eastern Ukraine’s industrialized Donbas region, where its troops have ground forward at what Kyiv says is a great cost.

In comments to reporters released on Sunday, Zelensky said Russia could draft more troops in 2027 to reach an overall goal of 500,000, part of what he described as a “peripheral mobilization” targeting Russia’s far-flung regions.

“We believe it will not take place in the central cities,” he said. “But I don’t think they will be able to hide it very well.”

Parliamentary elections in Russia are set for Sept. 18-20.

As fighting rages around the strategic city of Kostiantynivka, Zelensky said Russia was losing a “maximum” amount of troops in its bid to advance into Ukraine’s so-called fortress belt of eastern cities.

He also hailed recent gains by Kyiv’s troops in southeastern Ukraine, adding that the amount of territory occupied by Russia and liberated by Ukrainian forces in 2026 would be equal.
